Rockshox’s Revelation has Black Box carbon crown and steerer tube for their 26″ forks. That begs the question, why not for their 29er forks?

Well, with the full gamut of SRAM and Rockshox tech and marketing staff at my disposal, I asked just that.

Tyler Morland’s answer: “Hmmm, should be doable. It might be something we’re working on.”

Of course, that’s about as much of a confirmation as we’ll get until they’re ready to actually announce it. Take it for what it’s worth.

Specialized already uses a tapered carbon steer tube/crown Reba on the Epic Marathon 29″er. Wonder where that came from? ;>)

It’s only a matter of time till more varied suspension product hits the market for 29″ers.

Seen it over on cycling news’s coverage of the Mellow Johnny’s Classic (under the “Tech” heading)…
